Utter “Food Network” and all you get is
Starting now, it will cost Canadians $23.99 to subscribe each month to Netflix’s premium service. That’s a three dollar increase, (their first in two years). The US-based media giant claims that this increase is needed, goes the release, “so that we can re-invest to further improve Netflix.” Plus CEO Ted Sarandos need a new hot
